Director: Mallik Ram
Tillu Square picks up the story of a small-time DJ and event fixer whose easy charm keeps getting him into bigger trouble than he can dance his way out of.
What is Tillu Square about?
Balagangadhar Tilak — everyone just calls him Tillu — has built a whole persona around being unbothered: flashy outfits, a loyal crew, and a family events business he half-runs while chasing gigs behind the DJ booth. A rough breakup with Radhika left a scar he covers with bravado rather than actually healing from, and for a while the strategy works, since every party he throws seems to pull him back to the center of attention. That balance tips when a woman named Lilly walks into his orbit and disrupts the routine he had built to avoid feeling anything too deeply. The film spends real time on whether Tillu is falling for someone new or simply repeating the same pattern with a different name attached, and it uses that uncertainty to power a plot that mixes comic set pieces with a thriller undercurrent. Family, friendship, and the events business Tillu inherited all get pulled into the fallout as secrets about Lilly begin to surface, forcing him to decide what he actually wants instead of what looks good on a dance floor.
Cast & crew
Sidhu Jonnalagadda anchors the film as Tillu, playing the character's swagger and insecurity as two sides of the same coin, while Anupama Parameswaran takes on the role of Lilly with enough restraint that her motives stay genuinely unclear for much of the runtime. Muralidhar Goud, Murli Sharma, Anish Kuruvilla, Praneeth Reddy Kallem, Prince Cecil, and Neha Shetty round out the supporting cast that keeps Tillu's chaotic social world feeling lived-in rather than sketched.
Context & significance
Director Mallik Ram works within a Telugu commercial framework that leans on music-driven set pieces and comic timing, but keeps threading in thriller beats so the tone never settles into pure farce. Released in 2024, the film belongs to a wave of Indian regional cinema built around a charismatic lead carrying scenes on personality alone, then testing that persona once the plot turns serious.
